You are correct in general. But in this context, it can be very simple. If it is so simple and clear, an appeal is near guaranteed to uphold a challenge.
How can it be simple?
There is a number M of votes allegedly counted.
There is a number N of ballots marked as processed ballots stored by law.
If M < N, there must be ballots that were not counted.
If N - M > Alleged Margin of Victory, a Recount must be ordered as it would be clear that uncounted ballots could reverse the election outcome.
The thieves would have to access the vaults where processed ballots are stored, break the seals, and physically find Ballots for Kari Lake and destroy enough of them so that
N - M < Fake Margin of Victory.
But then there’s the Cast Vote Records CVRs that would expose any such illegal destruction.
But again, you are right to call out the corruption of the AZ courts. However, the CVRs are governed under federal statute, therefore an appeal can go to the 9th Circuit and expedited to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
But the math would be so simple, the following courts would not be able to explain how voters were not disenfranchised:
The United States Court, District of Arizona,
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,
The United States Supreme Court,
The Judicial Branch of Arizona for Maricopa County,
The Court of Appeals for the State of Arizona, Division 1,
The Supreme Court of Arizona.
All the above courts would have to avoid the facts carried in simple math.
Jurisdictional issues aside, the argument that all ballots locked in storage were not completely counted, that those not counted exceed the alleged margin of victory, that voter intent is a non-issue and irrelevant to the request for recount, all such arguments are not supported in the context of uncounted ballots mixed in with counted ballots.
The arguable claims would boil down to the incontrovertible fact that not all ballots in storage were counted, the counted vs. uncounted ballots are indiscernible, the number of uncounted ballots in storage exceed the alleged outcome margins.
If the above is true, the dumping and mixing of UNCOUNTED Bin#3 or Box#3 ballots, which current reporting states came from more than 30% of “malfunctioning” machines, not 20% or 21% as originally reported, would be an absolutely brilliant and fatal tactic to the criminal Maricopa County ploy of feigned “machine malfunction” handing over 30%+ of the ballots to alter, shred, replace, cheat.
I hold out hope that enough clerks in the more than 70 of 224 Maricopa voting centers with reports of machine malfunctions were accidentally on purpose directed to stuff the received but uncounted ballots in with the bags of counted ballots.
If the Maricopa Mafia provide a serving of sh*t to voters, I say the voters should take the sh*t, make sh*t sandwiches and serve it back to Maricopa’s gangsters to eat.
